PZEROFGH Golden Master Messages 7,689 Jan 16, 2006 #4 on the video card, there is a little power connector, most likely a 4 pin molex connector. You need to take a 4 pin molex connector from your power supply, and plug it into your video card. Its not getting enough power. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Showi...force+6800GS+256MB+GDDR3+AGP+4X/8X+Video+Card top right hand corner is the 4 pin molex connector.
